587962 ÷ 48 
Our goal is to divide 587962 by 48.

Going ahead to step 1:
When dividing 5 by 48, we get 0 with a remainder of 5.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 5, we get 5.
Bring next digit (8) of the dividend behind the 5 and repeat the process: 58 / 48

Step 2:
48 can be fit into 58 1 times, resulting in a remainder of 10.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
Subtract 48 from 58 to get 10.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 10 and continue: 107 / 48

On to step 3:
The number 48 fits into 107 2 times, leaving a remainder of 11.
The number 2 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 12.0
Subtracting 96 from 107 leaves us with 11.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 11 and continue: 119 / 48

Step 4:
If we divide 119 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 23.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 122.0
Subtract 96 from 119 to get 23.
Fetch the next digit (6) from the dividend, attach it to 23 and continue: 236 / 48

Let's proceed to step 5:
When dividing 236 by 48, we get 4 with a remainder of 44.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 1224.0
Subtracting 192 from 236 leaves us with 44.
Append the next digit (2) from the dividend to 44 and continue with: 442 / 48

Step 6:
442 divided by 48 is 9 with a remainder of 10.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 12249.0
The remainder is 10 after subtracting 432 from 442.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 7:
If we divide 100 by 48, we get 2 and a remainder of 4.
Put 2 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12249.2
If we take 96 away from 100, we end up with 4.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 40, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 8:
If we divide 40 by 48, we get 0 and a remainder of 40.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 12249.2
The remainder is 40 after subtracting 0 from 40.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 400, and continue the process.

Step 9:
When dividing 400 by 48, we get 8 with a remainder of 16.
Record the quotient 8 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 12249.208
If we take 384 away from 400, we end up with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 10:
The number 48 fits into 160 3 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12249.2083
Subtracting 144 from 160 leaves us with 16.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
160 divided by 48 is 3 with a remainder of 16.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 12249.20833
The remainder is 16 after subtracting 144 from 160.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 160, and continue the process.

In conclusion, the division gives 12249.20833 with a balance of 1.6e-05.
